Sea to Sky Hotel and Conference Centre Squamish

... bbq when we got back, I wanted to buy some photos but refused to pay $50 when you couldn't even tell who you were looking at.
The wedding reception was really uncomfortable the moment I got there I felt out of place. I only got to speak with the bride for 10 minutes total and I had the biggest loser sitting next to me...he asked if I was getting to Scotland by bus or plane...nuff said

... people being trampled while they were praying at a temple. There had been a huge sign erected with pictures of all the people who had died. How sad, most of them were so young. When I was in Jodhpur, the car that I had hired to take me to Udaipur drove up with bald tires and dents all over the car. I told them there was no way I was getting in that car, and wanted a new car and driver. Just looking at the car made me feel unsafe. Within half an hour, I had a new car and driver and ...

... and washed us out), a pot of pelau from 1 person's trunk & the cooler of drinks in another trunk. I love the consistency of my Trini folk! ... lol. Meeting the other pan players was interesting especially when adding the jokes around the lime. I did take a few photos ... mainly of scenery and none of the band (I was hoping to do that during the 2nd 1/2). Hopefully, I'll get another invitation to hear them play and I can redeem myself. You will also see ...

Canada is a lot of fun, but I keep forgetting that I'm in another country. It can be quite surprising when the blond, english speaking, Subway cashier hands you a fistfull of blue Monopoly money and some "loonies." Chad Waldman met me in Vancouver for a week of climbing in Squamish, and it is a phenomenal place! The clouds have broken, and the rainy Northwest has opened up into a gorgeous summer wonderland ...

... follow. Then on to the reception, which took place at the Lonsdale Quay hotel in North Vancouver. What a stunning setting on the water with Vancouver skyline as the backdrop! After eating, drinking and being 'married' we headed back to our rooms and had a very restful sleep. July 6th, Sunday. We have nothing planned except attending a family bbq this evening, with the wonderful Sean and Andrea as our hosts. It is nice to relax.

... that night and after we had lunch we arrived at the aquarium 15 minutes before it closed.... We both liked Vancouver a lot, especially because of the many cultures you can find here. This also shows in the number of restaurants: Japanese, Chinese, Malaysian, Italian, French, Mexican etc etc We especially liked a little Japanese restaurant on Davie Street we went to with Jeremy and his dad. Tamina is convinced she had the best sushi ever ...

Hey everyone- yesterday my grandpa turned 87! Woooo grandpa! I went shopping during the day to try and get a last minute present (I mean really, what do you get a guy who has everything he needs and you don't want to clutter up their apartment with junk?) and ended up fighting the hoards at Park Royal (the North Vancouver mall). Decided on a potplant in the end (pretty and orange and fits on grandma and grandpa's balcony!) after ...

... for rock climbers, but we took the back way around the side of the mountain. It was really misty across the valley and the mountain was quite rocky - for any of you who have seen Picnic at Hanging Rock it felt a bit like that. Tom had seen the movie at we took great delight in calling out "Miranda, Miranda!" At one point we had to use ...

... would be working on the Vancouver flight as well. So, the plane would wait for both us and the crew in Edmonton. There were no problems catching the connecting flight. We arrived in Vancouver an hour later than scheduled at 10:20pm local time. Of couse, we were incredibly weary after seven hours of travelling. We were eager to get to our hotel and relax. Unfortunately, our baggage did not arrive. When ...

... until flying time. Our seats weren't quite as good on the flight to Seattle but not totally bad. Boy would it be great to be able to afford first class one day. We tried to sleep a good portion of this flight so we would be a little more "caught up" when we arrived in Seattle at 9:20 am on the 27th of December (only 3 hours after we left Bangkok, ha ha ha, not really). We took a taxi to Chad and Lara's place and picked up ...
